The best time to visit Pond Inlet is during the summer months, from late June to early September, when the weather is mildest and wildlife viewing opportunities are at their peak.
During this period, the days are long, often with 24 hours of daylight in July, which allows for extended excursions and sightseeing. The average temperatures range from 5°C to 15°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and wildlife safaris. This is also when the sea ice has broken up, opening up waterways for boat tours to see narwhals, belugas, and polar bears.
Couples looking for a unique adventure will find the summer months ideal for exploring the Arctic landscape together. You can take boat trips into the fjords, visit nearby glaciers, and witness incredible bird cliffs. The longer daylight hours mean more time for photography and enjoying the natural beauty.
For solo travellers seeking an extraordinary journey, late June to early September offers the most accessible and rewarding experience. This is when local outfitters are fully operational, offering guided tours and expeditions that make exploring the remote environment straightforward.
